Actually I knew what you meant b/c I agree. But that's something I've noticed 
about Ruby, it tries to accommodate a lot of variant styles and tastes, like 
{ ... } or do ... end, and the options to use parenthesis with methods or not 
--many variations and ways to do the same things.

Nonetheless, I am still at a loss for what appears to me as documentation 
errors in ri. I feel like I must be misunderstanding something, but I can't 
see what it is.
